In response to the re-opening of many local businesses, the Crossville Police Department wishes to remind everyone that, even though more businesses will be opening, individual travel should still be conducted with safety in mind.

The statement from the Crossville Police Department reads:

“Safety precautions could still help limit your exposure infectious viruses. Be responsible members of our community by wearing protective masks whenever possible. Cover coughs and sneezes and wash your hands often. Try to limit your exposure risk by following the recommended occupancy guidelines at restaurants and stores.

With the arrival of Spring weather, the urge to get out and travel can be overwhelming. With a little common sense and restraint, we may just avoid another spike in reported virus cases and the possibility of another, even longer, shut down.

Please stay safe and know that the Crossville Police Department will be out in force, keeping a watchful eye on shopping centers, parks and parking lots. The increased traffic could result in increased car break-ins and burglaries. Remember to lock your doors when you leave your home and your car, and always keep valuables out of sight. Don’t tempt fate or criminals.”
